thanks Alan, I'm working from the obsyroom tonight with me knee not being too good, if Jupiter don't hurry up and catch the moon ill have the window frame in my view before I have both in frame but ive me fingers crossed, but if the worse happens ill have to watch it with the binos, hope it clears for you, seeings quite good here tonight , a bit fazy.  charl.

Lovely pics, Charl.  I hope you don't mind my adding a quick snap taken with my 300mm Tamron lens on the 450D, tripod mounted.

great shot Ouroboros, keep adding mate, I'm going to get the window frame in the way soon so the more shots the better. charl.

[Tzitzis]

Charl delivers again! Nice set of pictures.

Very nice set Charl. The conjunction was a lovely sight and the GRS was clearly in view at higher mags even though the glare from the Moon washed out most of the other features.

I like that a lot, at full size Jupiter is showing some detail which I wasn't expecting, well done.

Still clouded out here and not looking good any time soon.

Ta. How did you take the wide angle shot with Jupiter in the frame? 

[xtreemchaos]

Thanks Tzistzis, hope you have some clear mate, charl.

[xtreemchaos]

thanks John, yer mate there was some nice detail on show with Jupiter being so close to the moon. charl.

[xtreemchaos]

thanks Alan, I was surprized too, just fluke mate only focused on the moon, think not many frames staxed helped . hope you get some clear soon. ive got some moon detail close ups to post as soon as there processed. charl.

just turned the 1200d on its side, using a ed80 scope because id never get them both in frame with the big frac, took 40 frames at iso 100 1/320 expo and staxed 50% with registax ,no other processing. charl.

OK. Thanks.  I thought you must have done something like that. I should have got my ED80 on the job, but I felt a bit lazy.
